When you do pick him up are you ensuring he's well-supported and secure?
I am unsure of his age, he's about 14 inches long, have had him about 3 months. He's only eaten 3 times, but past few weeks twice, now know he likes grey rat weaners. Because he wasn't feeding, was leaving him alone a bit in case he was stressed. He isn't vicious at all. Don't know if I should just lift him an inch or two off the ground in his enclosure everyday, then try a bit higher gradually, to gain his confidence.
